Posted on Tuesday, December 02, 2008 | A lot of people are adding a new spin on the white picket fence surrounding their Naples home . A gated fence doesn't just increases security, but it adds privacy as well. A gate controlled by a remote can be put in at the end of a driveway or added onto an existing wall or fence. The gate can be triggered by computer programs, hand-held devices, or even your BlackBerry or Treo.
These types of systems don't come cheap. A professional, more detailed system can run anywhere from $18,000 to $130,000, while a DIY model can be purchased for around $1,2000. These gates are evidence of the boost in fear and paranoia in America, according to some. Many others believe that they are simply the easiest form of privacy. Either way, those selling fences contend that business is booming.

Adding a swimming pool is an essential in the hot, dry areas. In the cooler areas, the idea of upkeep is enough to turn buyers away. A home with a pool will not appeal to some families with young children. The kids new playroom is great, but you might not have considered how it looks from the outside. A poorly planned addition will be tough to sell, especially when it doesn't fit the rest of the house.
When following design trends, be careful. Above the counter sinks and bamboo floors will date a home, just like green shag carpet. Be smart and think ahead when personalizing your Naples home.

Posted on Friday, November 28, 2008 | Adding a hot tub to your second Naples home will make it more alluring to vacationers. Rental homes with hot tubs take in $14,000 more than homes without, on average. The start-up cost is big, but a hot tub will pay for itself several times over.
